Welcome to Litsy!

Blessings to all of you! I‘m hoping the clouds clear a little more so that I can spend some time with the lovely moon tonight. I most definitely need to release the seemingly relentless stress and anxiety...

Thank you for this simple ritual, @Meaw_catlady ❤️

#MoonReflections

Hello my lovelies!! You are all such a blessing and right now it is such a tough time for our world! The moon is bright and full of light tonight and let‘s take some time to breathe and release that which is not serving us!
I‘m releasing my fear of disappointing others and making mistakes. My fear of failure .
“I release what I cannot control!”
Here‘s a little ritual to try https://foreverconscious.com/scorpio-super-full-moon-ritual-may-2020

This was clearly a middle grade fiction/magical realism, but it was so good! It's about 2 sisters trying to overcome the family curse that makes it so that twin sisters cannot be around each other after a specific birthday. Lots of magic thrown in, as well as the fun of a late summer traveling carnival and lots of sweet animals. Really about the transformative power of relationships.

From the gorgeous cover to the inventive storyline, this MG novel was a solid pick in my book. The story inspires courage against the odds, bravery, hope, & love. The characters were easy to fall in step with, but I did feel the author could have developed the story a bit more & gone on to explain a few things a bit better. Perhaps that‘s just coming from my adult mindset where most likely a younger reader would be quite content w/things as is.

“I think a lot of science can seem like magic before it‘s explained properly. Sometimes we don‘t have the observations, the data, or the right words yet to explain it. Surely there was a time long ago when people watched a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis and thought it was magic.”

This cover makes me think this is a grab the tissues book. #coverlove #kidsedition
